Welp… another day, another ‘reality’ show star acts up in public!
This time it’s Benzino from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta who got a bit perturbed and cursed out everybody around him after he was booted from a flight yesterday (May 27, 2014).
I received the following anonymous tip about the incident last night:
Benzino just got kicked off flight from Chicago headed to Atlanta. He was claiming the Flight Attendants were racists. FYI, my friend is a Flight Attendant and is currently commuting back home while the incident took place.
Her words via text was Benzino was acting like an asshole. She is in flight now. I will get the details shortly when the plane lands.
More details + video of Benzino’s rant below…
VIDEO: Benzino Airline Rant
Benzino’s profanity-laced outburst came shortly after he claimed a flight attendant racially profiled him on his flight.
Benzino and his fiance’ Thi-Thi were reportedly the last people to board the flight and as soon as they took their First Class seats, a flight attendant demanded to see their tickets.
Benzino found this insulting, and felt that the flight attendant only asked to see his tickets because he’s a man of color sitting in First Class.
“They basically were talking to me very disrespectful and came at me inappropriate. That?s why I was upset about the situation. I am not the one to scream the race card unless I truly believe I am being treated not equal.”
He also hit the net to plead his case, stating:
Benzino, says an airline rep later apologized to him, telling him the airline was in the wrong, and then gave him and Althea two Southwest Airline vouchers for $200.
The end.
Oh… and BTW. Benzino and Althea Heart’s ‘wedding photo’ was taken during a video shoot for Althea’s new song ‘Ghetto Love'(LISTEN HERE)… the couple got ‘married’ in the video, which was filmed in Vegas over the weekend.
